With Print Management Solutions from Canon, organizations are able to set rules for printing based on their corporate objectives and data security protocols, while allowing print jobs to be submitted and accessed by the user via a PIN code, proximity/swipe card, or active directory login, at their convenience.
In order to help control wasteful financial and environmental behaviors, Print Management Solutions from Canon can also provide organizations with user metrics, detailing the types and volumes of documents being printed in order to manage costs by user or department.
COMMON SCENARIOS AND CHALLENGES RELATED TO PRINT MANAGEMENT
In highly regulated industries, confidential data, such as personally identifiable information (PII) and social security numbers, can go uncollected at the MFP. The Security Rule of HIPAA also establishes standards to protect individuals' electronic personal health information.
Need to cut printing costs but unable to track where print jobs originated? Without the ability to monitor employee usage, enforce rules, and require users to print when they are at the device, these goals are often not easily attainable.
Capturing client-related expenses can be a challenge. Manual entry lacks the accuracy and efficiency in a business that bills by hour. Along with common metrics like quantity, page size, sides printed, and more, law firms use additional client-matter fields to route charges.
With budgets/print quotas issued by department, student, and/or teacher, the finance or accounting department requires the ability to bill back costs to each department and/or user at the end of the month.
In a contentious industry that has both business horizontal (AR/AP, HR, Marketing, contracts) and manufacturing-specific needs, protecting confidential information, intellectual property, and trade secrets, along with managing usage and sustainability activities, is pivotal.
